BDC Advisory Services — Growth, Marketing and Sales

For Canadian small and medium-sized businesses struggling to turn marketing efforts into consistent sales, expert guidance can be just as valuable as capital. The BDC Advisory Services – Growth, Marketing and Sales offering is designed for entrepreneurs who know they need a clearer, more effective sales and marketing approach but want hands-on support to build and execute it. Delivered by the Business Development Bank of Canada, this national program focuses on practical, action-oriented advice rather than high-level theory.

Through one-on-one coaching and structured advisory support, businesses work with BDC experts to develop a tailored strategy aimed at reaching the right customers through the most effective sales channels. This can include refining value propositions, improving lead generation, strengthening sales processes, or aligning marketing and sales teams to perform better in competitive and fast-changing markets. The support is suitable for companies selling within Canada or looking to expand beyond domestic borders, and it’s geared toward real implementation, not just planning.

While the level of financial support varies depending on the scope of the project, BDC can help offset the cost of these advisory services, making professional expertise more accessible for growing SMEs. For business owners looking to improve sales performance and marketing effectiveness with experienced guidance, this advisory program may be a strong fit worth exploring in more detail.
